Rotary International’s Role in Founding the United Nations
Since its inception, the United Nations it has been closely connected to Rotary International and its ideals. In 1942, in the midst of World War II, Rotary convened a conference in London, assembling ministers of education and observers of 21 governments for the purpose of considering the organization of a vast educational and cultural exchange. The picture to the right shows Rotarians meeting with the Big Four in Washington DC in 1944. At the organizational conference of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945, the United States delegation invited Rotary International to appoint consultants. Eleven prominent Rotarians served in this capacity. The Economic and Social Council may make suitable arrangements for consultation with non-governmental organizations which are concerned with matters within its competence. Subsequently, Rotary International was granted consultative status; through the years prominent Rotarians have served as observers at various important meetings. Rotary’s right to make proposals has, however, never been exercised because Rotary cannot claim to know the opinions of all Rotarians. Even before the United Nations was firmly established, R.I. President T. A. Warren proclaimed a week in October as United Nations Week for observance by Rotary Clubs in all parts of the world. In 1953, this observance was changed to United Nations Day. Last year on November 18, Rotary United Nations Day, highlighted the role business can play in the collaboration between Rotary and the U.N. as they work toward a more just and humane world.
The Evening Club featured a Polio Plus Challenge, painting fingernails purple. The plan is to challenge anyone who asks about it until the end of the day today. Sherry said she collected $30.00 at a birthday party with friends from Kingsway at the Captain’s Table. The October Quiz winning team
is shown here.

Invocation
On this United Nations Day, may we remember the strong influence Rotary had in the founding
of the organization. May this food and drink nourish our bodies. May this gathering of Rotarians and friends lift our spirits, open our hearts and make us glad for our blessings. Remind us of the many sacrifices made in service to our great country past and present. Remind us of service given in
other countries in all parts of the world as well. Amen
Last Week in Review by Guest Editor Jim Hageman
Our first order of business prior to beginning the meeting was a test to see if we could place stickers in dictionaries without putting them upside down or crooked. It would not be a good example to the youngsters receiving them that mature adults could not do this without screwing up. We were all awaked by the morning bell to begin a new Rotary day. Unlike some other unsavory organizations, we all stood to honor our flag and country. Our returning Sargent-at-Arms went through his list of duties with no visitors or make-ups, offered. Birthdays or anniversary recipients were serenaded by Bob Mc D. Happy and sad dollars were collected and a lot of money was given to Bob, the winner of our huge 50-50 drawing. Prior to our brainstorming session, Paul Harris awards were presented by Darryl Keys to Steve Carter and Bob McDuffie for their contributions. The membership and fishing committees met and presented their plans. The membership committee suggested a plan to focus on newcomers, interact members, hosting a service event and vocational mentoring. The fishing group suggested holding the Captains’ meeting as part of our regular meetings plus other helpful ideas. The closing bell ended the meeting and many of us left for home for our mid-morning nap.

Directors at last weeks Board Meeting voted an approval to hand the control of Port Charlotte High School Interact Club over to Murdock Rotary, as well as not to spend any more monies toward that club, excluding several previous commitments which will remain in place. This action is in light of having started the SWFL Collegiate High Club. Other actions included implementation of DACdb (District And Club database) Modules for Attendance and Accounting. Harbor Rotary will sponsor two RYLA Students and one S4TL youth. Stephen Carter will coordinate S4TL transportation for our club only, rather than attempt to coordinate driving for students from other Rotary Clubs. We will contribute to Arcadia Rotary’s Canoe Fundraiser to help with hurricane relief in that area. Money was also committed for Rotary marketing pieces, such a stand-up banner and inflatable wheel.
